How do I know if my loft will be suitable to convert?

You initially need to carry out a feasibility study of the structure of your loft and if your loft is presently boarded out and fitted with proper pull down stairs this will be easy to do. If however your loft is not boarded and is not fitted with a ladder and light then this becomes a potential hazard situation and you need to ask an expert or take the proper safety precautions. It is always worth measuring a loft with someone else for ease and to comply with safety issues like footing the stepladders and handing up the lead light to name but a few.

However we include a few safety tips for you to consider. This is by no means a safety statement but some form of protection for you and for others.

• Make sure you have proper access to the loft
• Make sure you have temporary lighting in the loft
• Make sure you use the correct safety approved ladders to gain access to the loft
